Benefits of technology

"The invention provides a method and device for displaying digital colors. It automatically displays black or grey text or picture elements in color. This is achieved by assigning a color from a color palette to each element. The technical effect is improved visual impact and better user experience."

Problems solved by technology

To this end, they are colored expensively.
For cost reasons, this method of coloring pictures or films is no longer cost-effective.
This assigning of color information is, however, continued to be effected largely manually, as, from the pictures alone, it cannot be ascertained, which color are to be assigned to the individual objects.
Often, it is completely unimportant which color is allotted to a picture or text.

first embodiment

[0030]Referring to FIG. 1, a device and method for displaying digital black-and-white text elements or picture elements is illustrated in the form of a principle sketch. Numeral 10 designates a digital, black-and-white image. This digital image 10 contains text elements 12 and picture elements 14. In the technological realization, the text elements 12 and picture elements 14 are available in a digital memory matrix, which is read out by a picture generator. The memory matrix and the picture generator are not shown in this figure.

[0031]The digital and black-and-white image 10 is supplied to a text filter 16. The text filter 16 analyses the digital text 12 and causes a color generator 18 to allocate pre-defined colors 19 to individual terms. To this end, the colors 19 are selected by the color generator from a color palette 20. Subsequently, the digital image 10, to which now the colors of the color palette is allocated, is displayed, in color, on the digital display 22. Therefore, th...

second embodiment

[0032]FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment with random generator of a device and a method for display, in color, of digital black-and-white text elements and picture elements. Numeral 10, again, designates the digital, “black-and-white” image. This digital image 10 contains text elements 12 and picture elements 14. In the technological realization, the text elements 12 and the picture elements 14 are stored, as in the preceding embodiment, in a digital memory, which is read out by a picture generator.

[0033]The digital and black-and-white image 10 is supplied to a text filter 16. The text filter 16 analyses the digital text 12 and causes the color generator 18 to associate individual terms with predetermined colors. To this end, the colors 19 are selected by the color generator 18 from a color palette 20. The selection is made through a random generator 24. This ensures that the text 12 gets any arbitrary colors. Provisions can, however, be made that also with the random generator 24 cer...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for displaying, in color, digital text elements and / or picture elements on a digital color display, the text elements and / or picture elements having no color information of their own, a color generator allotting, in each case, a color from a color palette to each of the text elements and / or picture elements.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a method of displaying, in color, digital text elements and / or picture elements on a digital colored display, the text elements and / or picture elements having no color information of their own. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for displaying digital text elements and / or picture elements on a digital color display, wherein the text elements and / or picture elements have no color information of their own.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Often, black-and-white pictures, films or text are colored, in order to make them appear more genuine. Films are simply pictures which are attached to one another. Films originally shot in black-and-white are meanwhile shown in color. To this end, they are colored expensively. Formerly, these pictures were manually dyed individually, i.e, picture-by-picture. For cost reasons, this method of coloring pictures or films is no longer cost-effective.[0003]Nowadays, black-and-white pictures or...
